Police say they are investigating the Josh Shaw case for a possible domestic violence incident that may have occurred between the USC cornerback and his girlfriend last weekend.

Shaw’s story became national news after he fabricated a tale about how he injured both of his ankles last weekend. Shaw told USC — and the school later publicized the story — that he hurt his ankles jumping off a balcony to save his nephew from drowning. After multiple sources told USC that account was not true, Shaw finally admitted he lied about how he got hurt. He has since been suspended indefinitely by the team.

Shaw has already been interviewed by police twice and has been advised by his lawyer not to speak with them anymore. Shaw’s girlfriend apparently did not indicate to police that she was a domestic violence victim.

As we have been saying for a few days here at LBS, it looks like Shaw fled the apartment after a domestic incident with his girlfriend and got hurt climbing down the side of the building.
